Issues of Censorship in Wisconsin Library

Dismissal of Wisconsin Board Members Draws National Censure
The American Library Association has joined publishing and free-speech groups in condemning the West Bend, Wisconsin, common council for not reappointing four library board members after they failed to act on a citizens group’s call to restrict the availability of sexually explicit books. At its April 21 meeting, the council voted 5–3 to reject Mayor Kristine Deiss’s recommendation to reappoint the four library board members whose terms were concluding. It might be a good time to read the American Library Association Freedom to Read document. (This last sentence is my suggestion.)
